The founder and chairman of a group of companies, Huja Anwar Majid, has long been standing at the crossroads of business virtues and public scrutiny. Recently, he was awarded Pakistan’s second most civilian award, expert Hilal-i-Mtiaz. This identity has provided a powerful response to baseless allegations and politically motivated cases to equalize it.
The Federal Investigation Agency has registered several cases against Khawaja Anwar Majeed during the era of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. These matters were widely publicized in the media, branding the Majid and his group as the main players in the alleged financial mismanagement. Still, as time goes on, it became clear that the allegations lacked material. There was never a punishment.
The FIA has never submitted the final challan – a formal charge sheet required to move forward with legalism. Despite public pressure and long media trial, cases fell due to insufficient evidence. Finally, they closed quietly. Defense had always maintained that it was a politically motivated harassment tool.
Media coverage fed the concept of wrongdoing, yet the absence of a legal resolution has revealed the political goals that clarify the allegations. In this way, there was a lengthy media trial without a judicial trial.
When Majid was nominated for Hilal I-Amtiaz, some media people questioned the nominations. Can anyone be charged in high -level graft cases recently for state honors? However, the criticism fell against the undeniable fact: no punishment, no challan.
The real story of Khwaja Anwar Majid is one of the economic changes. From the slightest start in Samla to become the central figure in Pakistan’s industrial rehabilitation, Majeed’s career has expanded banking, international trade and industrial business.

The group has organized a series of free medical camps, a humanitarian initiative that has brought necessary health care services to the weakest and most common communities in Pakistan. Personally under the supervision of the mosque, these one -day camps have been organized in remote villages of Sindh, offering free consultations, diagnostic tests and medicines to those who will not have access to health care.
